13 Gary Vaynerchuk Tips on Building a Profitable Blog

One of the sessions that I enjoyed most at Blog World Expo (actually it was one of the few sessions I actually was able to get to) was a keynote by Gary Vaynerchuck.

While I’m sure he rubs some up the wrong way his tips on building a successful blog (and business) were refreshingly honest, entertaining and inspiring. Here are 13 snippets/quotes of his keynote that I thought were ‘tweet worthy’.

“answer every single email and every single comment on your blog’ for the rest of your FREAKING life.”

“content is king but marketing is queen and the queen runs the household”

“you have to go to every meetup you can possible go to”

“pump out content – if you don’t produce something every day you’ll be out hustled”

“‘Hustle – you have to work your face off.”

“you need eyeballs – the easiest way to do this is to become part of the community”

“induce conversation at every turn for the rest of your life”

“your job is to create a connection”

“be you and be every flaw”

“it’s about putting up good content, creating conversation and spend 10% of your time working out how to make money”

“if you’re not good at monetizing, get a bus partner that can.” do what u do & bring in others who can do the other stuff.”

“if you’re a shy guy – become the greatest shy guy on earth”

“don’t drink hatorade”

PS: here’s some video of the session courtesy of David Peralty (note: it does contain some language so proceed with caution if you’re easily offended or are in a work environment).
